iRIXTED  at  The  Riverside  Press"  has  gained  so  wide  a  distinction 
as  a  book  imprint,  and  for  almost  sixty  years  has  carried  with  it.  so 
high  a  reputation  for  maintaining  the  traditions  of  the  great  printers, 
that  there  is  a  host  of  book-lovers  who  would  be  glad  to  make  a  personal 
inspection  of  this  famous  printing  establishment.  Visitors  are  always 
welcome,  but  to  those  who  live  at  a  distance,  and  who  cannot  come  in 
person,  this  little  booklet  will  show  where  the  complete  writings  of  Al- 
drich,  Emerson,  Hawthorne,  Holmes,  Longfellow,  Lowell,  Mrs.  Stowe, 
Thoreau,  Whittier,  and  other  more  recent  authors  have  been  made 
into  books. 

The  Riverside  Press  of  Houghton  Mifflin  Company  is  attractively 
situated  on  the  banks  of  the  Charles  River,  between  Western  Ave.  and 
River  St.,  Cambridge,  Mass.,  where  the  business  has  been  located  since 
lSo^,  having  previously  been  on  Remington  Street.  It  was  founded  by 
Henry  O.  Houghton,  who  was  born  in  Sutton,  Vt.,  in  18L23.  He  began  as 
a  newspaper  apprentice  at  the  age  of  thirteen,  worked  his  way  through 
the  University  of  Vermont,  and  became,  during  his  forty-three  years 
at  the  head  of  The  Riverside  Press,  one  of  the  most  distinguished  and 
successful  American  printers. 

The  grounds  of  the  Press  now  comprise  about  four  acres.  The  main 
buildings  face  east  on  Blackstone  St.,  from  which  they  are  separated  by 
well-kept  lawns;  and  the  Charles  River  Park  system,  soon  to  be  com- 
pleted, will  furnish  a  wide  roadway  past  the  rear  of  the  establishment.

ENTRANCE  AND  MAIN  BUILDING 

The  original  building,  a  three-story  structure  of  brick,  sixty  feet  by 
forty,  may  still  be  distinguished  in  the  midst  of  the  group  by  its  old- 
fashioned  style  and  dormer  windows.  It  is  connected  with  the  fire- 
proof warehouses  that  stand  nearest  the  river,  and  forms  an  extension 
at  the  rear  of  the  main  building,  which  is  four  stories  in  height,  and  has 
a  frontage  on  the  east  of  one  hundred  and  seventy  feet,  and  an  equal 
frontage  on  the  north.  On  one  side  of  this  central  group  is  a  new  Stock 
Building,  and  on  the  other  a  large  building  used  for  type-setting  and 
dry-pressing,  an  Electrotype  Building,  and  a  Press  Building  with  a 
large  new  addition,  while  in  the  rear  is  a  one-story  brick  safe  for  the  stor- 
age of  electrotype  plates,  and  a  capacious  engine  and  boiler  house. 

The  distribution  of  material  and  apparatus  and  the  organization  of 
work  in  these  buildings  are  planned  to  secure  the  least  possible  hand- 
ling of  books  while  in  the  process  of  manufacture,  and  the  best  condi- 
tions for  healthy  work  on  the  part  of  the  more  than  eight  hundred  em- 
ployees. The  separation  of  the  plant  from  neighboring  properties  and 
its  considerable  open  space  give  it  a  natural  immunity  from  the  danger 
of  fire.    Steam  fire-pumps  are  always  in  readiness  for  use,  and  a  very

complete  outside  tank  and  hydrant  system  gives  adequate  protection, 
in  addition  to  that  of  the  Cambridge  Fire  Department,  with  which 
the  buildings  are  connected  by  an  automatic  alarm.  The  automatic 
sprinkler  system  is  installed  throughout,  and  a  fire  brigade,  composed  of 
eighty  employees,  is  kept  in  constant  training.  In  one  of  the  buildings 
is  a  machine  shop  where  a  force  of  machinists  is  employed  in  making 
necessary  repairs  and  alterations.  There  is  also  a  large  paper  warehouse 
in  which  some  five  hundred  tons  of  printing  paper  are  usually  on  hand. 
In  this  connection,  some  idea  of  the  size  of  the  business  may  be  gained 
from  the  fact  that  the  Press  uses  from  2000  to  3000  tons  of  paper  a  year. 
The  large  and  sunny  offices  occupy  the  second  floor  of  the  eastern 
wing  of  the  main  building.  Here  the  heads  of  the  various  departments, 
with  their  corps  of  assistants,  clerks,  book-keepers,  cashiers,  and  steno- 
graphers, have  their  desks.  On  one  of  the  walls  hangs  a  three-quarters- 
length  portrait  of  Mr.  Henry  O.  Houghton,  Senior,  painted  by  Robert 
Gordon  Hardie  in  1895,  and  presented  to  the  Press  by  its  founder. 
Leaving  the  counting-rooms,  let  us  follow  the  manufacture  of  a  book  in 
all  its  stages.

MONOTYPE   KEYBOARDS 

After  the  selection  of  a  suitable  style  of  type  and  size  of  page,  the 
manuscripts  are  put  into  type  either  by  machine  or  by  the  old  method 
of  hand-setting.  For  rapid,  regular  work  the  machines  are  generally 
used,  and  to  the  uninitiated  their  operation  is  little  short  of  marvel- 
ous. They  are  the  latest  models  of  the  Lanston  Monotype,  and 
consist  of  a  keyboard  and  a  casting  mechanism.  The  keyboard  is 
operated  very  much  like  a  typewriter,  but  instead  of  printing  letters 
it  simply  makes  perforations  in  a  roll  of  paper  which  indicate  the 
type  character  that  is  to  be  made  by  the  caster.  Compressed  air, 
passing  through  the  perforated  rolls,  directs  the  movements  of  the 
casting  machine  in  the  casting  and  setting  of  the  type.  Unlike  the 
linotype,  which  casts  in  lines,  the  monotype  casts  the  individual 
type,  which,  after  it  leaves  the  machines,  is  handled  in  the  ordinary 
way  and  may  be  corrected  by  hand.  These  machines  are  in  the  north 
wing  of  the  main  building,  connected  with  which  is  a  new  two-story 
building,  finished  in  1909,  and  especially  designed  for  the  use  of  the 
hand-compositors  and  the  proof-readers.  Well  lighted  and  away  from 
the  noise  of  the  machinery,  this  building  furnishes  almost  ideal  condi- 
tions. Some  work  still  requires  hand-composition,  and  the  equipment

here  provided  consists  of  a  large  variety  of  type  in  all  styles  and  sizes, 
besides  many  special  and  unusual  characters.  All  proofs  are  taken  on 
hand  presses  and  are  read  by  the  proof-readers  before  they  are  sub- 
mitted to  the  authors.  The  work  of  these  proof-readers  is  of  great 
importance,  and  only  men  and  women  of  high  intelligence  can  pro- 
perly perform  this  work,  which  requires  patience,  care,  and  long  edu- 
cational and  technical  training.  They  are  responsible  for  the  correc- 
tion of  all  misspelling,  grammatical  errors,  mistakes  in  punctuation, 
the  misuse  of  type,  and  other  details.  In  fact,  the  prestige  and  suc- 
cess of  any  press  is  in  no  small  measure  due  to  the  high  efficiency  of 
its  proof-readers.  They  are  often  of  great  assistance  to  authors  in 
pointing  out  faulty  construction,  repetition  of  words  and  phrases,  and 
even,  at  times,  errors  of  fact. 

After  the  type  is  set,  it  is  made  up  into  pages,  and  when  all  the  cor- 
rections of  both  proof-readers  and  author  have  been  incorporated,  the 
pages  are  locked  up  in  iron  chases  and  taken  to  the  Electrotyping  De- 
partment. An  impression  of  them  is  made  in  wax  and  this  wax  mould  is 
coated  with  graphite  and  placed  in  a  bath  of  copper  sulphate  through

which  is  run  an  electric  current.  Here  the  copper  fills  in  every  crevice 
in  the  wax  and  forms  an  exact  reproduction  of  the  type.  This  thin  shell 
of  copper  is  then  backed  up  with  metal,  making  what  is  known  as  an 
electrotype  plate,  with  a  surface  much  harder  than  the  face  of  the  lead 
type  and  capable  with  careful  handling  of  giving  an  almost  unlimited 
number  of  clear  impressions  when  placed  on  the  printing-press. 

These  plates  are  then  taken  to  the  Electrotype  Finishing-Room, 
where  they  are  prepared  for  the  presses.  This  process  is  one  which  re- 
quires great  skill,  for  the  surface  must  be  perfectly  even  and  smooth,  and 
if  any  typographical  errors  or  imperfections  remain  they  must  be  cor- 
rected in  the  plate.  Consequently,  each  page  is  examined  by  experts 
from  another  set  of  proofs  (called  plate  proofs),  which  show  the  final 
state  of  the  book  before  it  goes  to  press. 

During  1910  the  accommodations  of  the  Press  Building  were 
greatly  enlarged  by  the  addition  of  a  new  L-shaped  building  extending 
2C28  feet  to  and  122  feet  along  Blackstone  Street.  It  is  a  single 
story  structure  with  large  steel-sash  windows  on  all  sides  and  having

a  saw-tooth  roof,  so  that  the  maximum  of  daylight  is  assured.  In 
the  old  and  new  buildings  there  are  over  60  presses  constantly  run- 
ning. They  vary  in  size  and  in  make,  and  are  used  according  to  the 
special  conditions  required  in  a  general  printing-house  where  a  great 
variety  of  work  is  turned  out.  There  are  big  presses  on  which  are 
printed  large  editions  of  books  in  great  demand,  and  others  adapted 
for  the  smallest  job  work.  In  the  new  building  where  the  large  cylin- 
der presses  are  placed,  each  press  is  equipped  with  an  electric  motor; 
and  all  such  modern  inventions  as  automatic  feeders,  appliances  for 
neutralizing  the  electricity  in  the  paper,  and  so  forth,  are  utilized  for 
gaining  the  best  results.  The  building  was  designed  so  that  by  setting 
the  presses  on  a  concrete  foundation  all  possible  vibration  could  be 
avoided. 

The  Adams  and  job  press-rooms  are  in  the  old  Press  Building,  to- 
gether with  the  make-up  rooms,  cut  rooms,  etc.  The  Adams  presses, 
smaller  and  slower  running  than  the  cylinder  presses,  are  used  for 
printing  the  smaller  editions,  and  much  of  the  finest  letter-press  work  is 
done  on  them;  nearly  all  the  work  is  printed  on  dampened  paper.  One 
of  the  distinctive  features  of  this  building  is  the  private  apartment  for 
the  women  press-feeders.  This  is  a  cheerful,  well-lighted  room,  provided 
with  suitable  furniture,  where  the  women  may  occupy  themselves  with 
sewing,  conversation,  or  lunch  in  the  intervals  of  the  work. 

The  plates  ready  for  printing  are  taken  through  a  subway  which  con- 
nects the  main  building  with  the  press-rooms.  They  are  made  up  into 
forms  of  eight  pages  or  multiples  and  placed  on  the  bed  of  a  suitable 
press.  The  ink  is  carried  over  the  face  of  the  plates  by  rollers.  The 
paper  is  supplied  either  by  hand  or  by  a  mechanical  feeder,  and  after 
going  through  the  press  and  receiving  the  impression,  it  emerges  at  the 
opposite  end,  printed  on  one  side.  The  same  routine  applies  to  the  other 
side  of  the  sheet.  The  famous  printers  of  the  old  days  found  that  by 
moistening  the  paper  before  printing  on  it,  a  clearer,  better  impression 
of  the  type  was  made,  and  in  the  highest  grade  of  letter-press  work  done 
at  Riverside  this  process  is  still  in  vogue,  although  it  involves  additional 
work  and  expense. 

After  sufficient  time  for  the  ink  to  dry,  the  sheets  are  generally  put

under  heavy  hydraulic  pressure  to  remove  the  indentation.  This  is  done 
in  the  Dry-Press  Room,  a  large  room  occupying  the  lower  floor  of  the 
Composing  Building,  adjacent  to  the  Press-Rooms,  and  it  is  from  here 
that  the  sheets  are  taken  to  the  Bindery  for  the  final  step  in  book-making. 
The  Bindery,  which  occupies  a  large  part  of  the  main  building,  turns 
out  from  10,000  to  15,000  books  a  day,  and  there  are  no  fewer  than  62 
machines  and  40  presses  for  the  various  stages  of  the  work.  Here  the 
sheets,  upon  which  there  may  be  as  many  as  128  printed  pages,  are  folded 
automatically  by  the  folding  machines.  These  separate  folded  sheets, 
or  signatures  as  they  are  called,  are  then  gathered  into  their  proper  se- 
quence by  one  of  the  latest  inventions,  a  gathering  machine.  To  secure 
compactness,  the  books  are  then  subjected  to  a  quick,  sharp  pressure, 
and  are  ready  for  sewing,  which  is  done  by  machines  especially  adapted 
to  all  sizes  of  books.  The  edges  are  trimmed,  and  then  gilded  or 
marbled  if  that  is  required,  after  which  each  book  is  rounded  to  conform 
to  the  general  custom  for  shape,  and  "backed,"  that  is,  a  little  ridge  is 
made  on  each  side  of  the  back  to  hold  the  covers  more  securely  in  place. 
It  is  then  ready  for  the  covers.

THE     RIVERSIDE     PRESS 


The  book  covers  may  be  divided  into  two  classes,  cloth  and  leather 
bindings.  The  cloth  covers  are  made  on  machines  which  automatically 
glue  the  cloth  and  fold  it  around  the  cardboard  sides,  already  cut  to  the 
proper  size.  It  will  doubtless  surprise  most  visitors  to  learn  that  fully 
280  large  barrels  of  glue  and  paste  are  used  every  year  at  Riverside  in 
book-making.  Any  design  or  lettering  can  be  printed  upon  the  cloth, 
while,  if  gold  is  used,  it  is  laid  on  by  hand,  after  the  covers  are  pre- 
pared by  "sizing"  to  make  the  gold  leaf  adhere  to  the  surface  of  the 
cloth  when  stamped  with  heated  dies.  More  than  $L25,000  worth  of 
gold  leaf  is  put  on  the  bindings  and  edges  of  books  every  year  in  this 
department.  The  last  step  in  book-making  comes  when  the  books,  pro- 
perly shaped,  are  pasted  securely  to  the  covers  and  put  under  pressure 
until  dry  and  ready  for  sale. 

In  the  case  of  the  leather  bindings  a  great  many  steps  are  required,  and 
it  is  an  interesting  fact  to  note  that  the  processes  now  in  vogue  are  prac- 
tically the  same  as  they  have  been  for  generations,  modern  machine 
methods  being  possible  in  only  a  very  few  stages  of  the  work.  The  im- 
portant thing  to  bear  in  mind  about  leather  binding's  is  that  the  cover 
becomes  an  integral  part  of  the  book  itself,  for  the  tapes  or  strings  on 
which  the  book  is  sewed  are  worked  into  the  cover  before  the  leather  is 
drawn  on.  Hand-tooling  is  necessary  to  get  a  sufficient  brilliancy  into 
the  gold  designs  on  leather,  and  where  these  designs  are  elaborate,  there 
are  so  many  different  tools  used  that  it  may  easily  take  a  skillful  finisher 
an  entire  day  to  do  the  panels  on  the  back  of  a  single  volume.  There  is  a 
special  department  under  an  artist  expert  where  the  highest  grade  of 
fine  leather  binding  is  done,  and  its  work  is  generally  considered  among 
the  best  in  America. 

One  of  the  old  buildings  on  the  river  bank  has  been  remodeled  and 
refitted  for  the  production  of  the  beautifully  printed  books  issued  in 
limited  Riverside  Press  Editions,  which  have  met  with  the  warmest  and 
most  sincere  commendation  from  book-lovers,  collectors,  and  critics  of 
both  literature  and  art.  With  its  walls  of  brick,  large,  heavily  mullioned 
windows,  and  open-timbered  roof,  this  room  presents  something  of  the 
attractiveness  of  the  earlier  printing  establishments,  before  the  advent 
of  machinery.    This  attraction,  however,  is  due  almost  wholly  to  the

substantial  and  workmanlike  character  of  the  fittings,  and  is  not  the  re- 
sult of  any  effort  to  create  an  effect.  Here  some  of  the  methods  of  the 
old-time  printers  are  being  employed.  The  only  machines  are  the  heavy 
hand-presses  upon  which  occasional  volumes  of  the  Riverside  Press  Edi- 
tions are  printed,  for  many  of  these  books  are  printed  wholly  by  hand, 
and  often  directly  from  the  types,  and  not  from  electrotype  plates. 

There  is  no  other  trade  in  which  the  traditions  and  tastes  hark  back  to 
first  principles  to  the  extent  that  obtains  in  book-making.  This  is  one 
reason  why  the  personnel  of  The  Riverside  Press  is  far  above  the  average 
of  a  factory.  Here  the  old-time  custom  of  apprenticeship,  under  which 
some  of  the  world's  best  printers  learned  their  trade,  is  still  in  vogue. 
Long  service  is  the  rule,  several  employees  having  had  records  of  more 
than  fifty  years,  while  not  a  few  others  have  been  employed  for  thirty  or 
forty  years.  It  is  not  uncommon  to  find  succeeding  generations  of  one 
family  represented  in  the  different  departments.  Nearly  every  branch 
of  the  work  requires  a  high  degree  of  intelligence  and  education.  A 
spirit  of  sympathy  and  assistance  in  time  of  trouble  and  distress,  es- 
pecially indicated  by  the  Riverside  Press  Mutual  Benefit  Association, 

results  in  good  feeling  which  contributes  to  the  happiness  of  those  con-

nected  with  the  business.  Rarely  does  any  one  give  up  his  position  ex- 
cept for  reasons  that  make  such  a  step  unavoidable.  Loyalty  to  River- 
side on  the  part  of  employers  and  employed  is  a  characteristic  feature, 
conducive  to  good  work  and  the  comfort  and  happiness  of  all. 

The  large  increase  in  the  publishing  business  of  Houghton  Mifflin  Com- 
pany during  the  last  ten  years,  and  the  yearly  addition  of  about  150  new 
books  to  their  list  of  over  4000  titles,  necessitated  the  erection  in  1908 
of  a  new  building,  117  feet  by  68  feet,  for  shipping  and  storage  purposes. 
It  has  space  for  over  two  million  bound  books  and  a  stock  of  three  quar- 
ters of  a  million  is  constantly  on  hand,  including  a  large  supply  of  Web- 
ster's International  Dictionary,  which  for  almost  fifty  years  has  been 
printed  and  bound  at  The  Riverside  Press  for  G.  &  C.  Merriam  Com- 
pany of  Springfield,  Mass.  It  also  contains  a  large  Shipping-Room,  with 
the  necessary  offices  and  with  facilities  for  filling  all  orders  with  great 
promptness.  The  Mailing-Room,  from  which  the  Atlantic  Monthly  and 
other  magazines,  circulars,  and  mail  orders  for  books  are  sent  out,  is  on 
the  ground  floor  of  the  main  building  next  to  the  Shipping-Room.  In 
the  fire-proof  warehouses  near  the  river  are  stored  from  two  to  three 
million  books  in  sheet  form  ready  to  be  bound  whenever  needed. 

Within  the  last  few  years  The  Riverside  Press  has  nearly  doubled  its 
capacity  without  impairing  the  high  quality  of  its  work.  It  is  one  of  the
